I was in a long traffic jam and my air conditioner stopped working. The tempature gauge went up but not high enough to overheat the car. I tunred the air off and continued for a while until the traffic jam was over.
My question is what would cause the temp to go up and the air to stop working?
Do I need to have something checked to avoid problems?
